Chapter 55: Why are you not growing here? (2/2)

Shen Cheng felt a little embarrassed. Honestly, ever since he opened the Cat Café, almost every day after work, he would have dinner and then go to bed after a quick wash. He hadn’t played these family-type games before.

“Let’s start nya!” With fish crumbs still on the corner of his mouth, Cheese raised his hand enthusiastically and shouted. It was Sugar who gently wiped off the fish crumbs from Cheese’s mouth.

…

By the time the game ended, it was already past seven o’clock. The one who lost the most… was Milk Tea.

Looking at Milk Tea, whose cat ears were covered with little sticky notes, Milk Tea looked at Shen Cheng with teary eyes.

Shen Cheng’s face flushed. Sticking to the principle of never going easy during games, Shen Cheng played very seriously throughout. And… he had drawn Milk Tea’s cards.

Milk Tea was too easy to read. Whenever Shen Cheng held a card other than the turtle, Milk Tea would panic. On the other hand, when he held the turtle card, Milk Tea would visibly relax.

Seeing that Milk Tea was on the verge of tears, Shen Cheng sighed bitterly and patted Milk Tea’s head like a father, removing the sticky notes for her: “Alright, it’s just a game, don’t take it too seriously…”

Sugar, who had been staring blankly on the side, suddenly lit up and came closer: “Master, help me remove the sticky notes too.”

Cheese followed closely behind: “Master, help me remove mine nya!”

Shen Cheng: “…”

Next to him, Lin Yuhui looked down at the already note-free sticky notes in his hand: “…”

What a disaster, too fast!

Feeling a strange chill running down his spine, Shen Cheng quickly removed the sticky notes from all three cat girls. He then let out a long breath: “There, it’s done!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Yuhui clapped his hands: “Let’s go for a hot spring!”

…

The hot springs at the Lin Family Hot Spring Inn were divided into three: male, female, and mixed. After all, the inn’s reputation and size warranted it, and each hot spring was quite spacious.

Naturally, Shen Cheng and the others separated into the male and female sections. Although the inn had few guests, the Lin family still dutifully kept the place spotlessly clean.

Shen Cheng, after changing into his bathing clothes, walked into the male bath and sank into the hot spring. The comfortable temperature made him exhale deeply. At that moment, he was the only one in the male bath. It was quiet, even a bit lonely.

Shen Cheng adjusted into a more comfortable position and closed his eyes to rest.

He planned to discuss the mermaid issue with the Bio-Scientific Institute before their camping trip. His instincts told him that this fish was probably a very rare Demi-Human. If he notified them now, the higher-ups might assign him some tedious missions, and his well-earned vacation could be ruined.

Besides, that fish wasn’t like Milk Tea; it seemed to be living quite comfortably.

Speaking of which, although Cheese and the others were also Demi-Humans, why couldn’t they eat fish? Could it be a special ability granted by Demi-Human genetics? Or was it because the dumb fish was raised in such an isolated Demi-Human environment that it caused this difference?

While Shen Cheng was deep in thought, a sudden splash came from the next room, followed by lively chatter.

Yes, the soundproofing here wasn’t great.

The rooms at the inn had excellent soundproofing, but for some reason, the soundproofing between the male and female baths was poor. Shen Cheng had long suspected that Lin Zhensheng had done this on purpose.

The first voice to come through was Lin Yuhui’s devilish tone:

“Milk~ Tea~ why are you not growing here ~?”
